Evil God? My servants are players!

"Huh? A mission all of a sudden? That came so quickly? But what exactly does this mission mean?"

The fully-insured, half-cargo truck was looking through the mission list in a daze.

"Do you have cerebellar atrophy or cerebral insufficiency?" the phase man quipped.

"Why are you saying that to me? After all, the mission objective is unclear. What do you mean by convincing the adventurers to focus on investigating the surface?"

"I don't even know who the adventurer is, what his name is, what happened, or what he's supposed to do," Quanxian Bangua explained.

"Oh, you mean that? That's true." The phase man nodded and said, "But didn't the mission provide a translator? Just communicate normally, right?"

While the two generals were talking to themselves, Sasha looked at them with a completely bewildered expression.

"Hello? You can speak now?"

"Ah? Right, it can speak now." The phase man realized that the translator was working, so he continued:

"I know where the woman in the portrait is. She's in the evil god's stronghold. I can take you there."

But Sasha interpreted those words differently:

"Oh, Luna, she's trapped deep inside the dungeon due to an accident, and we're currently conducting a rescue operation."

Shen Yuan knew that the players were completely unaware of the situation, so he had to take over the negotiations.

"Is she in danger?! Can you take me to see her?" Sasha asked anxiously.

"Relax, she's not in danger. As for meeting, we'll find a way to get you in touch. Just wait a little while."

"But I really want to see her!"

"I'm sorry, the situation there is very complicated. It's best for the living not to get close, for your safety as well."

"After all, you've seen it for yourselves. It's a strange place, and even we resurrected people have to be extremely careful."

"But... sigh~ can you tell me what's going on? Who are you?" Sasha chose to settle for second best.

"As you can see, we are resurrected beings created by the anomaly in the dungeon, but rest assured, we are not true undead, and we have no hatred for the living."

"You have no connection with the necromancer sect or the local lords?!" Sasha retorted.

"What are you talking about? We are who we are, and we are simply ourselves. We have no connection with any power."

Sasha's mind went completely blank upon hearing this.

"But, lord, but you... but your presence is everywhere on the surface!" Sasha finally discovered the key point.

"Our core was stolen by you, remember? That must be the culprit. I just appeared on the surface to retrieve our core."

Sasha then suddenly remembered the contaminated core that the count had bought.

"What can that core do?!"

"Unfortunately, we don't know either. All we can say is that the core is being abused, and a terrible disaster is about to break out."

"So what is your purpose?" Sasha asked, biting her finger.

"We want to cooperate with you: you are trapped in the dungeon, and we want to reclaim the core. Although our purposes differ, we share the same goal: to deal with the local lord."

"Then what do you want us to do? We don't have the strength to deal with Hamlet's lord."

"It's simple. We don't need you to deal with him. We just need you to figure out what he's doing."

"We will provide you with all necessary supplies, but you may have to wait a while, as the ninth floor is quite far from here."

"So, can you tell me your answer now?"

"I'd like to discuss this with the team members first," Sasha suggested.

"sure."

"Vice-Captain, are you really prepared to cooperate with them? They're definitely not creatures from the dungeon!"

"Dungeon creatures aren't allowed in or out of the dungeon! They're just trying to use the captain to threaten us!"

The thief tried his best to dissuade him.

"Do we have any other options? We're completely isolated here, and Luna, the only person who can contact the outside world, is trapped deep underground."

"If we don't cooperate with them, we might be stuck here forever."

The pastor offered a pessimistic analysis.

"What do you think, soldier?"

After listening to the priest and the thief, Sasha turned to the warrior, since the situation was now a 1-1 tie.

"I...I think either way is fine!" the soldier replied after thinking for a long time.

Faced with a tie, Sasha sighed deeply.

She went to the phase man again.

"We accept your offer, but I need to see my sister first!"

"A reasonable request, and you'll be able to contact her within three days...!"

Shen Yuan wanted to say something more, but an unexpected situation forced him to disconnect first.

After Shen Yuan left, the muscular man complained:

"This game finally had a bug; this temporary translation system is a real pain."

"Indeed, the conversations with the NPCs were completely nonsensical, yet the plot inexplicably continued, and the quest was inexplicably completed."

"Hahaha! That's hilarious!" Quan Xianbangua said, slapping his thigh.

Just then, a loud commotion erupted, followed by a dense crowd.

"Has the Earl of Hamlet gone mad again?! They've sealed off the town! We must protest!"

"Come on, if it weren't for your loud shouting, would we have been relegated to the dungeon?"

"What do we do now? Hamlet Town has started issuing arrest warrants for adventurers."

Just as the adventurers were discussing and arguing among themselves, a guard suddenly appeared and shouted:

"Adventurers! As long as you submit to the Earl's authority, you may roam the surface!"

"The Earl knows! Some of you have been coerced by bad people!"

"As long as you voluntarily lay down your weapons and accept control, His Excellency the Earl will forgive and forget your past actions!"

At the guards' urging, the large number of adventurers who had just rushed into the dungeon headed back towards the entrance of the Sien Dungeon.

Completely dumbfounded and not knowing what had happened, Sasha grabbed someone and asked:

"What just happened on the surface?"

The man who was caught looked impatient, but when he saw Sasha's face and attire clearly, he answered with a look of fear:

"The Earl suddenly ordered the entire city to be sealed off, and no one was allowed to enter or leave."

"Several adventurers clashed with the guards as a result, which directly led to the adventurers' riot."

"To be honest, I thought that a large number of adventurers would overwhelm the guards and force the count to retract his order."

"But those guards were different from before; they were incredibly strong and quickly scattered the adventurers."

"The guards began hunting down adventurers, but they stopped chasing them once someone discovered they had hidden in the dungeon."

"I hid inside too, and that's all I know."

The adventurer tremblingly recounted everything he knew.

Sasha, however, looked even more bewildered after hearing the answer:

What is the Earl of Hamlet trying to do?
